Mukilteo Lighthouse Coin


HauptGirls

Recommended Posts

We would like to introduce our first coin! The artwork was created by our aunt just for this coin and pays tribute to our little slice of paradise, Mukilteo Washington. The Mukilteo lighthouse was built in 1906.

The front side is a view of the lighthouse from the shore and is made of flat enamel with pearl inlay to accent the water and glow in the dark inlay for the light beacon.

The back side is a 3-D relief reminiscent of etching artwork of the time period the lighthouse was built in.

The coin is made in 4 versions.

Geocoins that represent a caching experienced are our most cherished. For this reason we have decided to give away the LE copper version at a geocoin challenge event, GC8FMX! If you can't make it to the event, or love the coin as much as we do, pre-order now! PM us for details!

We have had several inquiries about the coins. To help clarify We are taking, and shipping orders now for the RE and XLE!. If you prefer to pick up your coins at the event and save on shipping we will hold the coins for you. We plan to only give away the LE event edition at the event. If by chance there are remaining coins we will determine what to do with them after the event.

We responded to all of the messages we received. If you didn't get a reply it may be due to issues with the PM. Please try again. We are glad we have recieved a positive response for our first coin, and can't wait to see what cachers think in person at the event!

The silver and copper version arrived today and they are marvellous.

Much nicer than the pictures, they don't really do them justice.

 

The copper has quite an autumn feeling to it, while the silver is more the stark light of summer, amazing how different they appear, just in the different metalls.

 

Thank you very much for a lovely coindesign, the detail is stunning. I like especilly the night ocean, so clever! :anicute:
